Any air extraction pulls conditioned air out of the house - kitchen hoods, dryers, bath fans, etc. Only kitchen hoods exhaust a significant amount of air - the solution is a makeup air system.

That doesn't change anything I wrote.

Makeup air just ensures the exhaust meets its rated flow rate. It doesn't reduce heating or cooling costs (if anything it increases them).
